Whitworth Hall 9.15Am – 4Pm UNDERGRADUATE OPEN DAYS SATURDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER 2019 SATURDAY, 12 OCTOBER 2019 9.15AM - 4PM Make the most out of your day Search UoM Open Days app MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR DAY hank you for choosing to attend The University of Manchester’s undergraduate open day. By visiting our campus you will be able to gain a real insight into the student experience and life here. You will have the opportunity to find out more about the courses you are interested in, meet current staff and students, as well as attend sessions on accommodation, studying abroad and student life. We hope you enjoy your visit. There is no need to sign in on the day itself, just head to the first session you want to attend. Planning your day In order to get the most from your day we recommend that you take time to plan your visit. We do advise that where possible you arrive early to your sessions as some will be very popular; in these cases we may limit admittance to one student and one visitor or students only. As you make your way through the programme, you will see that next to the building names/session venues there is a number in brackets. This indicates the building number as listed on the campus map on pages 36 – 37 and will help you to navigate around our campus. If you are having any problems on the day ask a member of our open day team dressed in purple and they will be happy to direct you. STAGE Decide which subject sessions you want to attend – you can attend more than one, so just look at the timetable on pages 2 – 13 to see which ones suit you best. You can also find out more about your subject by visiting the relevant Subject Exhibition Stand. These are listed in the tinted boxes on pages 2 – 13. The stands will be open from 10am – 3.30pm and will provide you with the opportunity to speak with staff and current students on the course. STAGE We have general information sessions running throughout the day covering topics such as Student Life and Accommodation. Have a look at the full list on page 14 – 15 and fit the ones you want to attend around your subject sessions. STAGE Finally, we have a variety of Student Experience activities organised such as campus tours and library visits. We also have a Student Experience Exhibition, which will have information stands on areas from Sport and Student Finance to Accommodation and Study Abroad. For a full list see pages 26 – 31 and plan these activities around your other sessions. 1 International Business, SUBJECT Finance and Economics Venue: Alliance Manchester Business School (29), G.003 12pm (50 minutes) SESSIONS 2pm (50 minutes) Management and International Management ACCOUNTING AND/ Manchester and find out about Venue: Alliance Manchester OR FINANCE working as an engineer.

  • University of Manchester (Uom) Unit of Assessment (Uoa): B10 (Mathematical Sciences) A
    Environment template (REF5) Institution: University of Manchester (UoM) Unit of Assessment (UoA): B10 (Mathematical Sciences) a. Overview The UoA comprises the School of Mathematics (SoM) at Manchester, which is one of the largest unified mathematics departments in the country: 75 academic staff, 1167 UGs, 115 PGTs and 123 PGR students. It has had a long and distinguished history in pure mathematics (notably Adams, Mordell, Newman and Turing covering algebra, foundations of computer science, number theory, topology), applied mathematics (Goldstein, Lamb, Lighthill, Richardson covering continuum mechanics, waves, numerical analysis) and statistics (Priestley). The UoA sits within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS), which is composed of 9 Schools, over 600 academic staff and 70 specialist research centres and groups. The £40m bespoke Alan Turing Building is home to the UoA and places it, geographically and academically, at the heart of the University. The UoA’s size has enabled critical mass to be established across many areas of mathematics; thus, it is now home to world-leading research that both shapes the discipline and extends its reach. The UoA is divided, mainly for the purposes of teaching, into three groups: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Probability & Statistics, although, as described below, the formal divides between areas are becoming increasingly blurred. Current research interests include the traditionally pure areas of algebra, analysis, mathematical logic, geometry and topology and, in applied mathematics, dynamical systems, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, inverse problems, mathematical finance and waves. The UoA also has a strong tradition in numerical analysis and well established groups in probability theory and statistics together with the recent introduction of financial mathematics and actuarial sciences.

Polar bundles of microtubules (MTs) constitute their structural backbones and are highways for life- sustaining transport between proximal cell bodies and distal synapses. Any morphogenetic changes of axons during development, plastic rearrangement, regeneration or degeneration depend on dynamic changes of these MT bundles. A key mechanism for implementing such changes is the coordinated polymerisation and depolymerisation at the plus ends of MTs within these bundles.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[1][2][3] Turing is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.[4] During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine.
